1849
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Il parait que les clubs vont être ... fermés ... is a 1849 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two women sketching in this lithograph. They have big eyes and exaggerated features. Their clothes and expressions say a lot about what they think. The women seem to be commenting on their society. This was a common theme in Daumier's work, where he used satire to critique social norms. To learn more about this style, look up the technique: lithography.
Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
